Raise your hand if you're surprised by big price drops on the most controversial Triple-A game in recent history so soon after release.

Now that the server overload nightmare is basically over, there are probably quite a few gamers looking to get into the latest SimCity. And right on schedule, the highly anticipated price drop has arrived. GameFly has the game down to $31.99 after a $20 instant savings discount and stacking 20% off coupon code. We've seen price drops to $39.99 in the recent past, but this makes a new low by $8. Currently other online retailers are at the full $59.99 list price.

Paradox strategy games aren't for everyone, but if you're up for a hard core RTS, GameFly has the Europa Universalis 3 Chronicles download available for free. Convenient, since you'll have just enough time to learn the in-depth mechanics of EU3 before Europa Universalis 4 releases later this year (Q3 2013). Downloading from GameFly today may be a bit slow given how popular this deal is liable to be. The offer is scheduled to run through this Thursday, April 11th.

The highly anticipated PS3 exclusive The Last of Us is on sale again for preorder after a $10 coupon at NewEgg. Considering we last saw it on sale back in October 2012, this is probably one of the last chances you'll have to buy it at discount before the June 14 release date.

Earlier this week, Target dropped the popular Ni No Kuni $20 off the $60 list price, with Amazon quickly following suit. Although Target quickly sold out of copies, Amazon continues to sell the game for the reduced $39.99 price, with other retailers still selling at list price. Since its January 22nd PS3 release, Ni No Kuni's previous best (and only) discount was to $50 for a week in February - $10 more than the current deal.

Seriously? To download a game free I still have to post the billing info? GOG didnt needed that shit when they handed out Duke Nukem 3D.

GTA V at 59$ with 1600MS (20$) points doesnt look bad (there are some XBLA things that I am interested, and it does cover the possible DLC), although... it all depends in how fast it will drop the price. I usually only buy at the price of 25€ or lower but since this is GTA V I kind of doubt that it will drop all that much even after a year.

Probably a stupid question but don't you have to pay a fee to be a member of Gamefly? Or is that only if you subscribe to their mailing service or whatever? I'm interested in a free game but I don't wanna have to pay a monthly fee just for it.

...what? It's EA, for crying out loud. Why should I believe they'd ever lower prices on anything? They've even openly admitted they think the practice is "IP devaluation", so this price cut actually IS surprising.

It's devalued because they are going to sell you a butt load of DLC Down the road. Ironically. If they were to sell Simcity for 10 dollars and then come out with tons of DLC a lot of people wouldn't have a problem with it I would wager.

Mr.Mattress:I've been wanting Europa Universailis III, but I sadly never had the money to buy it. Now that I found the free edition, I'll certainly be downloading it!

Protip- France is the final boss of EU3, cross them at your peril. Also, don't invade Russia and don't irritate the Pope or the Holy Roman Emperor.

Play as France, Russia and the HRE, got it.

If you're new to it, I'd play as England or Castille. England because the AI sucks at naval invasions and Castille because the only power around that can seriously threaten you is France, so stay on their good side and you're set :)

I found playing as Frankfurt and just balancing inflation while using spies to cause worldwide bankruptcies and then creating trade monopolies by the 15th century and buying a piece of greenland to launch a Canadian colonization, and then invade the indians and take over all of America and switch the capital to there inorder to create "Empire Awesome" and moving on to World-domination works brilliantly. Not even because I like Frankfurt, it was merely a means to an end.
